An unprecedented wave of book banning, largely focused on race and LGBTQ+ issues, is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond. Librarians, under siege, join forces and emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy, free access to information, and free speech. Controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities, and the possibilities for the world that we see. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work—the librarians’ rallying cry for the freedom to read is an inspiring and chilling cautionary tale.
Post Screening Event: Shhhh...Revolt In Process.
Join us for an evening that celebrates the power of stories and the role libraries play in protecting our democratic values. Following the film, stay for a lively panel discussion featuring:
James L. Turk – Director, Centre for Free Expression, Toronto Metropolitan UniversityMichelle Arbuckle – Executive Director, Ontario Library Association
Release your perception of librarians as cardigan-wearing wallflowers and celebrate our free speech superheroes in the battle to keep all books in the hands of all readers. Wear your coziest or fave cardigan.

At a quick glance, the Solar System appears pristine, calm, and orderly. The celestial bodies of the Solar System execute their motions with grace and precision, and have done so billions of times for billions of years, and will do so for billions of years to come. However, hidden just below the surface is evidence of the Solar System’s history of tremendous chaos and violence. From (quite literally) Earth-shattering impacts to collisions powerful enough to reverse an entire planet’s rotation, we will peer into the distant past to see the many violent events that led to the Solar System that we know today.

Lynn McDonald presents Don Ross and Julie Malia in concert!
Lynn is thrilled to welcome Don Ross back to Port Perry for his occasional series featuring guest musicians from around the world. This time, his cohort is the wonderful guitarist and vocalist Julie Malia, all the way from Germany.
Don and Julie have been performing together for the last two years internationally, with shows in Germany, Austria, Italy, the UK, the USA, and across Canada.

The concert will feature some of the recent singles that Julie and Don have released together, as well as music from Julie's latest solo album, entitled SEAGULL, and all kinds of music from the past 35 years of Don's recorded career. Julie's most recent album was nominated for the German Record Critics' Prize. Come to the show on November 19 and find out why!

A brief introduction on how to perform advanced polyrhythms with just a little practice.
Rhythm is fast becoming a new avenue for the development of musical exploration. The degree to which harmony has been explored and developed over the past 12-ish centuries has permitted just about any note combination to work together with the right structuring. Tension and release finds its new dimensions in the ability to play with time and feel itself. This workshop will explore practical and actionable theories and strategies for internalizing, self-organizing and performing polyrhythms and complex tuplets in a live music and compositional context, forging new paths of creative exploration.

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.
Tallulah’s Cabaret is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6:00pm to midnight (or later).

Best Halloween Boat Party Toronto 2025

 
Paul
Directed by Denis Côté | 2025 | Canada | Documentary | 87 minutes | French, English
 
Box Office opens at 6:00 PM
Denis Côté's documentary Paul finds its eponymous protagonist figuring out how to take control of his life. Weighing 300 lbs and struggling with depression and social anxiety, the film chronicles Paul's unconventional path towards turning his life around. Paul finds solace in taking on the role of a "simp" (a man who excessively dotes on someone who doesn't reciprocate their affection). He spends his days on his hands and knees cleaning the homes of various dominatrices before going home and sharing his experiences with his burgeoning social media audience.
Côté crafts one of the year's most unconventional explorations of healing, self-improvement, and human connection. Paul emerges as a sweet and inspiring portrait of someone having the bravery to defy social norms in the pursuit of self-fulfillment. With shades of Wim Wenders' modest masterpiece Perfect Days, Paul suggests mindful commitment to repetitive tasks can strengthen resilience while bringing meaning and satisfaction to everyday life.
Keywords: Depression, social anxiety, housework, BDSM & kinkPrevious screenings: Hot Docs
Director bio:  Born in 1973 in New Brunswick, Denis Côté has produced and directed films since 1995. His first feature film, Les États Nordiques (2005), received the Golden Leopard Video Award at the Locarno International Film Festival.

Her parents, Elfie and Klaus, are also finding it hard to keep up with a world that is constantly changing.  Who gets to decide what is normal? How to Be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World is an exploration of identity, family and self-discovery, and a young woman’s search for equilibrium and meaning in a world that is spiraling out of control.

Brothers Ziad and Moody spend their last moments in the family home they’re forced to leave due to a scheduled demolition as part of the city’s development plans. To pass the time while they move the furniture outside, Moody turns on the TV, which soon blares news of Palestinian home demolitions in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem, casting a somber shadow over their already melancholic last day.

Discover the Culinary Delights of Toronto with Our Secret Food Tour
3 - 3½ hours | 6 stops | 12 people max | English | Local food and culture | Award-winning 
------------------  
On our Secret Food Tour: Toronto, you'll explore two of the city's most iconic and authentic neighborhoods—St. Lawrence and the Distillery District. Start your journey in the historic St. Lawrence Market, a food lover's haven established in 1803, where you'll taste some of Toronto's finest culinary delights while soaking in the rich local food culture.
Next, you'll wander through the charming Distillery District, a pedestrian-only area with cobblestone streets and stunning Victorian-era architecture. Once the largest distillery in the world, this district is now a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and entertainment.
By the end of the tour, you'll have had the chance to explore local galleries, boutiques, and artisan shops, as well as sample some of Toronto's finest local delicacies. Get ready to uncover the hidden treasures that make Toronto a paradise for foodies and culture enthusiasts alike.
Ready to join us? Book now and let the feast begin!
 Our journey starts at the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto’s historic marketplace dating back over 200 years.
 First up, we’ll visit a local fish market where you’ll sample wild-caught sockeye salmon cured in Canadian maple syrup.
 Then we'll visit a pub known for making one of the best versions of the "peameal bacon sandwich", also known as Canadian bacon.
 Next, you'll indulge in a popular no-bake dessert whose origin is shrouded in mystery.
 After leaving the market, you'll unearth an Indian-inspired dish that has taken Toronto by surprise and is now a staple of the city's street food scene.
 And for a great end, you'll devour the mouth-watering goodness of a classic Canadian pastry, the famous Butter Tart.
 As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.
*Please note: the itinerary and menu are subject to change, based on the locations' availability, weather, and other circumstances.

 Meeting Spot
St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. Across from Berczy Park, 27 Front St. E., Toronto. ON M5E 1B4. Your guide will be waiting with an orange umbrella so they are easy to spot.
Why the St. Lawrence Market?
As Toronto's oldest market, the St. Lawrence Market's property has had a market as early as 1803. The building itself has many of its original structures still in place from 1845. We chose this spot as our main focal point on our tour because it still remains a place for history, culture and is a part of Toronto's identity.
The area that was built around this market is reflective of how old and new can coexist in cuisine, architecture and history. This is the best place to discover some of Toronto's finest cuisine at the same time as learn more about the city's fascinating history!
